Frequently Asked Questions

Introduction

WaRP is a small form factor development platform / reference design aimed at innovators and developers creating wearables and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Sports activity bands, and smartwatches are abundant, but those barely touch the surface of what’s possible with wearable computing and IoT. With so many great applications yet to been realized, now is the opportunity to innovate and develop new ideas. WaRP can help you make your idea a reality.

Original designers are Revo and Kynetics respectively, in charge of hardware and software. However now the warpx.io community wants to be the point of reference for any developer or professional who needs support.

Warp is totally open – schematics, BOM (released with Creative Common License) and software, which include different open source licenses. You can freely customize and redesign the warp_0x01 with no obligations towards the original designers.

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. It was founded in 2010 as a collaboration among many hardware manufacturers, open-source operating systems vendors, and electronics companies to bring some order to the chaos of embedded Linux development.

Warp can run without the Interposer board, but because it’s so small, it can be difficult to work with warp especially during early development and prototyping. We developed the Interposer to make it easier to work with this platform.
